Happy with recovery from broken ankle

Beckham is happy with where he stands in his recovery from a fractured left ankle, Michael Eisen of the Giants' official site reports. "I don't know a percentage, but I'm actually doing really good," Beckham said Saturday at the NFL Honors awards show. "They tell me to slow down because I've been out for so long, and I'm ready to go, I'm ready to go. Now I can see where the mental part comes in as far as being patient, and knowing you can't push too much right now, or you need to push more. It's finding that balance."

Analysis: In a preseason game Aug. 21, Beckham injured his left ankle, which was termed a sprain from the get go. After sitting out the regular-season opener, he returned Week 2, and unsurprisingly, he was heavily involved in the passing attack. However, playing through the pain ultimately was his downfall. Finally, in Week 5 against the Chargers, Beckham required a cart to leave the field and was diagnosed with a broken left ankle, forcing an abbreviated end to his fourth campaign. As of Dec. 6, he…read more

Ditches walking boot

Beckham didn't have a walking boot on his right foot at the Giants' facility Wednesday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

Analysis: Perhaps unsurprisingly, a superior athlete is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a major surgery. Beckham worked out in the weight room Wednesday sans boot as he seeks to regain full mobility in his left ankle, according to Kimberly Jones of NFL Network. Once he achieves that step, Beckham will turn his focus to balance and strength. Considering where he stands, he should be running on all cylinders by the start of the offseason program in April.

Hits IR, undergoes surgery

Analysis: In addition to Beckham, the Giants now use an IR spot for fellow receiver Dwayne Harris (foot), who is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery Tuesday. This opened up roster spots for Tavarres King and Travis Rudolph. It's expected that Brandon Marshall (ankle) will soon join Beckham and Harris on IR after undergoing his own season-ending surgery Tuesday, leaving Sterling Shepard (ankle) as the Giants' new unquestioned top receiver. Those absences are also likely to open up starting roles…read more

Injury confirmed as season-ender

Giants head coach Ben McAdoo confirmed Monday that Beckham, who is scheduled to undergo surgery later this week to repair a fractured left ankle, won't play again this season.

Analysis: The grim news was fully expected after Beckham was in visible agony after being carted off the field when he injured the left ankle -- which he had previously sprained during the preseason -- in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Chargers. The All-Pro wideout's absence just about ends any hope the 0-5 Giants have of climbing out of the NFC East cellar and leaves a huge offensive void in a battered receiving corps. So long as their own injuries don't prove to be multi-week concerns, Sterling Shepard…read more

Will need ankle surgery

Beckham will undergo surgery this week to address a fractured left ankle, but the Giants have yet to formally schedule an appointment.

Analysis: Beckham's departure from Sunday's loss to the Chargers was the biggest blow of an injury-filled day for the Giants' wideout corps, which saw three other members exit early. The Giants aren't expected to issue a timetable for Beckham's recovery until after the procedure is completed, but it likely spells an end to the three-time Pro Bowler's season. Beckham, who had previously sprained the same ankle in the preseason and missed Week 1 while recovering from that injury, compiled 25 catches for…read more

Surgery to be determined

Beckham will undergo an MRI on his lower left leg before any decision is made on surgery, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

Analysis: Initially, Beckham was believed to have a fractured fibula, per Kimberly Jones of NFL Network, but the Giants eventually called his injury a broken ankle. The team noted Beckham "may need surgery," which won't be ordered up until the extent of the damage is known. A candidate for injured reserve if the preceding comes to pass, the receiving corps will be without its clear No. 1 option and perhaps the next 2-to-3 wideouts with Brandon Marshall (ankle sprain), Sterling Shepard (ankle) and Dwayne…read more

Undergoing surgery

Beckham (left leg) will undergo surgery in the aftermath of Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Chargers, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: The nature of the current injury is unknown at this time, but recall Beckham suffered a left high-ankle sprain in the preseason and has played through the concern in four consecutive contests, despite suffering a few setbacks along the way. Ultimately, this surgery may sound the death knell for his season, considering the gruesome play that preceded his departure Sunday. Expect the Giants to clarify Beckham's status in due time.

Beckham was carted from the field Sunday against the Chargers due to an apparent left ankle injury, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

Analysis: Beckham departed after a Chargers defensive back landed on his foot, which happened to bend in an unnatural fashion. A short time later, he was ruled out for the remaining minutes of the contest, per Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record. With Brandon Marshall (ankle), Sterling Shepard (ankle) and Dwayne Harris (broken foot) all unable to return before Beckham was injured, only one wide receiver (Roger Lewis) will emerge from Week 5 without an ailment.

Not listed on final injury report

Beckham (finger, ankle) doesn't have a designation on the Giants' final injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Beckham practiced in at least a limited capacity all week, though he did leave Thursday's session early due to cramping in his leg. Neither player nor team has expressed concern regarding Beckham's Week 5 availability, with the expectation all along being that he'd play through some minor injuries. He'll likely face coverage Sunday primarily from Chargers cornerback Casey Hayward, who held Alshon Jeffery to three catches for 29 yards and a touchdown on six targets last week.

Limited again Thursday

Beckham (finger/ankle) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Analysis: In three appearances this season, Beckham has toughed out a high-ankle sprain and dislocated finger, but neither was to blame for Wednesday's limited showing. Instead, head coach Ben McAdoo told Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com that Beckham turned in an abbreviated practice Wednesday due to cramps. There's been no indication that Beckham's current standing is anything more than management of his reps. That said, his listing on Friday's injury report will forecast his ability to suit up Sunday against…read more

Limited Wednesday

Beckham (finger, ankle) was officially listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

Analysis: Beckham's ankle injury has plagued him throughout the campaign, but he also suffered a dislocated finger Sunday at Tampa Bay. During the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, he didn't appear to be limited, per Tom Rock of Newsday. No matter, the pair of injuries was likely enough to force the Giants' hand upon the release of their first Week 5 injury report. Barring a setback, expect Beckham to be available Sunday versus the Chargers, even if he doesn't log a full practice by…read more

Doesn't appear limited Wednesday

Beckham (finger, ankle) didn't appear to be limited during the early portions of the Giants' first practice of the week Wednesday, Tom Rock of Newsday reports.

Analysis: Following the Giants' 25-23 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday, head coach Ben McAdoo relayed that Beckham was playing through a suspected dislocated finger and ankle injury, but the wideout's presence on the field Wednesday suggests that he isn't in much serious danger of sitting out the Week 5 matchup with the Chargers. The extent of Beckham's participation in the portion of practice that wasn't open to the media should be clarified when the Giants officially release their injury report later…read more

Dealing with multiple minor injuries

Analysis: Beckham appeared to dislocate a finger and tweak his ankle during Sunday's 25-23 loss to Tampa Bay, finishing with seven catches for 90 yards but needing 15 targets to get there. While neither injury seems likely to threaten his status for Week 5 against the Chargers, it's at least worth keeping an eye on Beckham's ankle, considering he missed Week 1 with a high-ankle sprain. He'll likely show up on Wednesday's injury report, though it won't be surprising if he manages to practice.

Paces receiving corps despite injuries

Beckham brought in seven of 15 targets for 90 yards in Sunday's 25-23 loss to the Buccaneers.

Analysis: Predictably, Beckham received an abundance of attention from QB Eli Manning, leading all receivers in targets on the afternoon. However, he found it somewhat hard to get into a rhythm due to a pair of nagging in-game injuries. Beckham first left for the final four plays of the Giants' initial touchdown drive after having a finger bent back on a sideline reception, but he had the digit popped back into place and returned. However, he eventually experienced issues with the same ankle that caused…read more

Not on injury report

Beckham, who missed the season opener with a high-ankle sprain before returning to action in Weeks 2 and 3, isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, Art Stapleton of The Record reports.

Analysis: This comes as no surprise after Beckham caught nine of 13 targets for 79 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Eagles. He's once again locked in as a weekly top-five option at his position as the Giants prepare for a Week 4 matchup with an injury-marred Tampa Bay defense.

Finds end zone twice in loss to Eagles

Beckham caught nine of his 13 targets for 79 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Eagles.

Analysis: Another week removed from Beckham's ankle injury, he looked more like himself, hauling in a beautiful 10-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter before pinning the ball to his chest for a four-yard score less than two minutes later. He didn't seem to run many deep routes, recording a long gain of just 14 yards, and may continue to work the intermediate channels until he's back at full capacity. Nonetheless, it appears Beckham can be trusted to produce from a fantasy standpoint again. He'll look to…read more

Not listed on injury report

Beckham (ankle) is not listed on the Giants' final injury report for Week 3, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

Analysis: The Giants limited Beckham at practice this week as a preventative measure, but he is apparently progressing well in his recovery, as there is no doubt he will take the field Sunday barring a setback over the weekend. Beckham played just 34 snaps in the Giants' Week 2 loss to the Lions, but with no injury designation heading into Sunday's matchup with the Eagles, that number seems likely to increase. While he did admit that his ankle probably isn't back to 100 percent, Beckham said he emerged…read more

Beckham (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.

Analysis: During a post-practice media session, Beckham told Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York that he didn't suffer a setback with his healing left ankle Monday against the Lions, during which was able to handle 34 of the 56 offensive snaps. "I look to play a lot more this week," Beckham added. Turning in an uninhibited practice Friday doesn't necessarily need to happen for Beckham to up his usage.

Beckham (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.

Analysis: Beckham hasn't completed a full practice session since sustaining a left high-ankle sprain in the second week of the preseason, but he's now strung together appearances in three consecutive practices, sandwiched about an active status Monday against the Lions. During his season debut, Beckham took the field for 34 of the Giants' 56 offensive snaps en route to four catches (on five targets) for 36 yards.

Limited in season debut

Beckham (ankle) caught four of five targets for 36 yards in Monday night's 24-10 loss to the Lions.

Analysis: Beckham overcame his ankle injury to be cleared for Monday night's tilt, but it was apparent that the ailment limited his amount of snaps. Despite having his involvement impacted, Beckham still tied for his team's lead in receptions, with only Evan Engram being targeted more times. Considering the Giants have scored just one touchdown through their first two games, a full-speed Beckham is something they could desperately use. However, with ankle injuries being tricky to manage, it'll be worth…read more

Making season debut Monday

Beckham (ankle) is active for Monday's game versus the Lions.

Analysis: Beckham's availability eventually came down to a pregame workout, when he moved about just fine as he ran a battery of tests. While his left high-ankle sprain may not be entirely behind him, he has been given clearance from team trainers to make his season debut. In his only career matchup with Detroit, he hauled in six of eight passes for 64 yards and one touchdown in Week 15 last season.

Status 'up in the air,' but 'good chance' to play

The Giants believe there's a "good chance" Beckham (ankle) will play Monday against the Lions, but his status is still "up in the air" for the Week 2 matchup, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: It appears the Giants will wait until pregame warmups before officially ruling Beckham in or out for the contest, leaving his fantasy owners in a tough spot this week. Beckham's upside probably makes it worthwhile to keep him active in deeper formats where the alternatives aren't as appealing, but even if he suits up, the wideout could be significantly hobbled and may struggle to deliver his usual top-flight production.

Game-time decision Monday

Beckham (ankle) has officially been listed as questionable for Monday night's tilt against the Lions, but the expectation is that he will make his season debut, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reports.

Analysis: Beckham has been trending in this direction all week, and after another limited practice session Saturday, he's on track to be a true game-time decision. The Giants are optimistic, however, that their star receiver will be able to take the field. It remains to be seen how heavy of a workload the 24-year-old will handle if he does indeed return to action in Week 2, but the team would presumably be inclined to ease Beckham back into the swing of things in order to avoid the wideout aggravating…read more

Trending in right direction

Beckham (ankle) is trending toward playing in Monday's game against the Lions, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Beckham still hasn't logged a full practice, but he did manage limited sessions Thursday and Friday, with coach Ben McAdoo saying after Friday's practice that the wideout responded well to treatment and was able to increase his level of participation. Beckham still figures to be listed as questionable on the final injury report, and the Giants probably won't make a final decision on his availability until Monday.

Limited at Friday's practice

Beckham (ankle) was a limited practice participant Friday, Art Stapleton of The Record reports.

Analysis: Limited for a second straight day, Beckham seems to be headed for another "questionable" tag, albeit with a much better chance to actually play this time around. Per SNY's Ralph Vacchiano, Beckham said Thursday that his ankle injury initially came with a projected timetable of 6-to-8 weeks after he first hurt it Aug. 21. While he seems to be far ahead of that timeline, his availability for Monday's game against Detroit looks like it could again come down to a game-time decision.

Practicing again Friday

Analysis: Beckham registered a limited practice Thursday after not participating at all last week, and he was able to get in some work Friday for the second day in a row. The star wideout's status for Week 2 might not ultimately be decided until just before kickoff Monday night, but he's seemingly heading in the right direction.

Likely game-time call in Week 2

Beckham's (ankle) status Monday against the Lions will likely come down to a game-time decision, Michael Eisen of the Giants' official site reports. "I can't tell you that right now, but I'm trying my hardest, that's for sure," Beckham said Thursday about his Week 2 availability. "I'm working my best to get to 100, so once I do get there, there won't be any more problems. At the moment, we don't know. We're just kind of day-by-day. It's getting better. So we're going in the right direction."

Analysis: On Thursday, Beckham made his first appearance at practice since sustaining a high left ankle sprain in preseason Week 2. Among his activities, he ran routes and went through other reps near the conclusion of the session. In conjunction with his comments, the Giants will seemingly see how he reacts to additional work in the coming days while putting him through a pregame workout Monday. Hence, the imminent game-time call.

After the session, when asked about his optimism for Beckham's prospects Monday against the Lions, head coach Ben McAdoo told Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York, "More than last week."

Trending toward playing in Week 2

The Giants have "a lot of optimism" that Beckham (ankle) will play in their Week 2 matchup Monday with the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: According to Rapoport, Beckham implored the Giants to let him suit up in the season-opening loss to the Cowboys last Sunday, but the team erred on the side of caution and held him out while he remained limited by the left high-ankle sprain he suffered in the preseason. It's unclear how much progress Beckham has made in the days since the opener, but a better read on his health should become available after the Giants complete their first official practice of the week Thursday. While Beckham was…read more

Deemed day-to-day ahead of Week 2

Giants coach Ben McAdoo said Tuesday that Beckham remains day-to-day with a left high-ankle sprain, Jordan Raanan of the ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: After injuring his ankle during the exhibition slate, Beckham was racing against the clock to take the field for the season opener last Sunday against the Cowboys, but he didn't progress quickly enough to suit up in the 19-3 loss.

Inactive for SNF

Beckham (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game in Dallas but is expected to return for Week 2 against the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Beckham went through pregame warmups but was always considered a long shot to play. A return to practice in any capacity during the upcoming week would set him up to return Week 2 against a beatable Detroit secondary. Beckham's absence Sunday should leave more targets for Brandon Marshall and Sterling Shepard, with Roger Lewis likely taking on most of the vacated snaps.

Will go through pregame warmups

Beckham (ankle) is still listed as questionable, leaning towards doubtful, but will go through pregame warmups before Sunday night's game, Fox's Jay Glazer reported during their pregame show.

Analysis: We remain in the same holding pattern that we've been in since Wednesday, but it still doesn't look particularly optimistic for Beckham.

Published: Sun, Sep 10 at 9:54am by Rotowire.comMore news and analysis available atNFL.com

While teasing a fuller update later on the Fox pregame show, Jay Glazer reported that Beckham (ankle) is closer to doubtful than questionable.

Analysis: This is consistent with all of the other reporting on Beckham's status over the weekend. At the very worst, you'd better have a late swap option available to you if you are planning to use him this week.

Game-time call for season opener

The Giants are labeling Beckham as a game-time decision for Sunday's tilt with the Cowboys, but the team isn't counting on him being available for the contest, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Beckham suffered a high-ankle sprain just under three weeks ago, and since the injury often takes four weeks to fully heal, the wideout may be trending toward the doubtful side of his questionable tag at this point. If there's reason for the Giants to be optimistic, it's that Beckham showed improvement while doing individual work during the team's practices this week, but the team will likely wait and see how the wideout feels in the hours leading up to the 8:30 p.m. EDT kickoff.

Questionable for Week 1

Beckham (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Analysis: Beckham has been limited to individual work on the side at practice all week and did not register any official participation, so it's no surprise that he's being listed as questionable, and it also shouldn't come as a big surprise if he's unable to take the field for Week 1. A final decision on his status will seemingly be made sometime Sunday ahead of kickoff. If he's ultimately ruled out, Brandon Marshall and Sterling Shepard will be in line for a bigger workload.

Beckham has displayed some signs of life in recent sessions, approaching full capacity with straight-line running.

According to Raanan, Beckham looked to be close to 100 percent while doing straight-line running, though the wideout wasn't spotted doing much change-of-direction work.

Beckham (ankle) said Wednesday was a good day for him and indicated that he's been able to do some running and cutting, Michael Eisen of the Giants' official site reports.

Analysis: A non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Beckham at least managed to do some stretching and work on the side without aggravating his ankle. He's doing everything in his power to speed up the rehab process, but he also made it clear that he won't play in Sunday's game against the Cowboys if his ankle doesn't feel right -- which is a sensible approach for Week 1.

Making progress

Analysis: Meanwhile, Battista adds that Beckham was able to "backpedal [and] jog" Wednesday, while "bouncing on [his] feet." In any case, Beckham's activities Wednesday amount to an upgrade from Monday, when the wideout worked off to the side with trainers on an exercise bike. We'll continue to track Beckham's status closely as Sunday's 8:30 p.m. EDT kickoff approaches, but chances are he winds up with a "questionable" designation on the team's injury report Friday.

Not practicing Monday

Analysis: It was the first time Beckham has been seen outside at practice since injuring his ankle in a preseason game Aug. 21. The Giants haven't provided any real hints as to his likely availability for Sunday's regular-season opener in Dallas. Upcoming injury reports may be the only reliable source of information heading into the game, potentially leaving owners in a tricky spot with the Giants playing on Sunday Night Football.

Takes part in solo workouts

Beckham (ankle) caught passes and participated in light individual workouts prior to Thursday's preseason finale against the Patriots, Art Stapleton of The Record reports.

Analysis: Beckham wasn't in uniform and was limited to solo drills with team staffers, but it's important to note he was able to work out for the first time since injuring his ankle last Monday, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. Beckham won't play Thursday and his status for the Giants' Week 1 matchup with the Cowboys remains in question, but his return to workouts represents another step in the right direction regarding his recovery.

Still sidelined at practice

Head coach Ben McAdoo said Monday that Beckham's ankle is "improving," Art Stapleton of The Record reports. However, Beckham hasn't returned to practice, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.

Analysis: Beckham has remained at the Giants facility during the rehab process, which may have included Phoenix Thera-Lase cell treatments Friday. Due to its unconventional nature, the Giants may be showing their hand with regard to his potential to play Week 1 at Dallas. At the very least, Beckham's availability will likely remain up in the air until the release of the Giants' first injury report for the regular-season opener.

Questionable for season opener

Beckham (ankle) could be in danger of missing the Giants' regular-season opener against the Cowboys, Dan Graziano of ESPN reports. Grazing did not disclose the source of the speculation, while the source neither provided new information nor offered a concrete prognosis for the injury.

Analysis: Graziano's unnamed source merely suggested the injury could "potentially" keep Beckham out for Weeks 1 and 2, and that such a result was "not out of the question," i.e., he's not giving any guidance as to how likely that scenario is, merely suggesting that it's possible. Sticking with the facts, we know initial X-rays on Beckham's ankle came back negative, and an MRI confirmed he has a sprain, the severity of which has not been specified. According to another unnamed source in Graziano's…read more

Return timetable remains unclear

Beckham (ankle) remains without a return timetable, but Giants coach Ben McAdoo said Tuesday they'll "see how he does in treatment," Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Beckham, who exited Monday's preseason tilt against the Browns prematurely with an ankle injury, appears to have avoided any serious issues with initial X-rays coming back negative. The Giants' No. 1 receiver expects to be fine by the time Week 1 rolls around, but the team figures to play it safe with Beckham's health throughout the remainder of the preseason. Additional updates should become available when a clearer timetable regarding his potential return to practice is released.

Says he'll be fine

Beckham (ankle) walked without a limp after Monday's game and said he will be all right for Week 1 against the Jets, Michael Eisen of Giants.com reports.

Analysis: Beckham sarcastically told a reporter "I don't know, man. I am pretty concerned," before making it clear that he expects to be fine for Week 1. Initial X-rays and a concussion test both came back negative during Monday's game, but the star wideout is still scheduled for an MRI on Tuesday. As bad as the hit initially looked, Beckham seems to have escaped with a minor ankle sprain and perhaps a bruise.

Beckham relived injury doesn't appear serious

Beckham (ankle) will likely get an MRI Tuesday and probably won't see any more preseason game action, but appears to avoided a serious injury, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. X-rays came back negative, and Beckham jogged into the locker room after the game. His left ankle was lightly wrapped, not booted.

Analysis: Based on this reporting, we'd be surprised if Beckham were not close to 100 percent for his Week 1 matchup against the Cowboys.

Initial X-rays come back negative

Initial X-rays on Beckham's ankle came back negative, but the receiver will undergo further evaluation.

Analysis: Beckham absorbed a low blow from a Browns defensive back Monday night and looked to be in serious pain as he dramatically made his way to the locker room. While it appears he's avoided any sort of severe injury, a short-term absence is probably in the cards. Since teammate Brandon Marshall is concurrently under evaluation for a shoulder injury and could be sidelined for a little while too, Sterling Shepard figures to open the week of practice as the Giants' No. 1 wideout.

Suffers ankle sprain

Beckham headed to the locker room during Monday's exhibition matchup against the Browns after suffering an ankle sprain.

Analysis: Beckham took a hit to the lower leg while attempting to make a catch. He was able to jog off the field, but was subsequently spotted in pain in the tunnel leading to the locker room. The extent of the issue is uncertain at this time, but he will not return to the contest.

Expected to play in second preseason game

Beckham is expected to play in the Giants' second preseason game Monday night in Cleveland, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Beckham, who was held out of the preseason opener last week, is expected to play the first quarter and possibly into the second with the entire starting offense. Last year, he logged 16 snaps in in the second exhibition against the Bills and led the team with 22 receiving yards.

Unlikely to play Friday

Beckham is unlikely to play in Friday's preseason game against the Steelers, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: For the second year in a row, Beckham and Eli Manning will be mere spectators in the Giants' initial preseason contest. Because Sterling Shepard (ankle) and Tavarres King (ankle) are also expected to join Beckham on the sideline, there should be plenty of reps available for fellow wideouts Roger Lewis, Dwayne Harris and Kevin Norwood, among others. Once the regular season arrives, though, Beckham will be in line for his typical 10-plus targets per game.

Absence not related to contract

Beckham said Tuesday that he didn't sit out the voluntary portion of the offseason program as a form of holdout, Jenny Vrentas of Sports Illustrated reports.

Analysis: Instead, Beckham stayed away from the New York area until the start of mandatory minicamp in order to "focus on training and self-reflection" in Los Angeles. Reading between the lines doesn't reveal the true cause of his absence, but Beckham still has two years remaining on his rookie contract after his fifth-year option was picked up in April. During his first three seasons as a pro, he's established a high floor, recording at least 90 receptions, 1,300 yards and 10 touchdowns in each…read more

Reports to team facility

Beckham reported to the Giants' team facility for a physical Monday, Josina Anderson of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Beckham rejoins the Giants after missing voluntary OTAs last month while in search of a long-term contract extension. Although his absence fueled talk of a holdout, the wideout has stalled speculation on that front by arriving for his physical ahead of the start of mandatory minicamp Tuesday. Even though Beckham is back in the fold, he and the Giants could still look to negotiate a new deal before the season kicks off. The 24-year-old is set to earn $1.8 million in the final season of his…read more

Published: Mon, Jun 12 at 7:19am by Rotowire.comMore news and analysis available atNFL.com

Beckham's absence from voluntary OTAs last month was contract related, at least according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Analysis: Beckham is woefully underpaid -- he's due $1.8 million for 2017, the fourth year of his rookie contract. While the Giants also picked up Beckham's $8.4 million fifth-year option for 2018 this offseason, that's not close to his market value, either. Beckham has indicated he'll show up to mandatory minicamp next week, so this isn't a holdout situation, but it's worth watching how the Giants handle their superstar receiver.

Isn't likely to attend OTAs

In an interview with Kimberly Jones of NFL Network, Beckham noted he will be at mandatory minicamp that begins on June 13.

Analysis: Beckham was absent for the Giants' first two days of OTAs, a trend that appears likely to continue until mandatory minicamp. While some see the wideout's absence as an issue, the 24-year-old has been present at other offseason workouts throughout the first couple months of the offseason and has no intention of missing mandatory practices.

Skips first day of OTAs

Beckham did not show up for the first day of OTAs on Monday, Ralph Vacchiano of SNY.tv reports.

Analysis: Beckham's absence from the Giants' first day of OTAs shouldn't be a cause for much concern, with several of his teammates likely failing to show up as well during this early stage in the team's voluntary offseason program. New York's mandatory minicamp isn't scheduled until June 13-15, but Beckham could return for OTAs as early as this Thursday. He'll look forward to getting back in sync with quarterback Eli Manning along with taking reps across from newcomer Brandon Marshall, who reportedly…read more

Multiple drops in wild-card loss

Beckham hauled in just four of 11 targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 38-13 wild-card loss to the Packers.

Analysis: Beckham started off the game with an 11-yard reception on his first target, but had a difficult time coming down with the ball thereafter, including on a possible touchdown reception in the first half. The Packers certainly did their part to make life difficult on the talented receiver as well, often bracketing him with double coverage. The end result was a frustrating afternoon for Beckham, despite the fact that he was the only Giants player with double-digit targets. Even though he produced a…read more

Beckham caught five of seven targets for just 44 yards in Sunday's 30-10 victory over the Redskins.

Analysis: Beckham drew a lot of attention from Josh Norman and was able to produce a long gain of just 15 yards en route to an average of just 8.9 yards per catch. Despite this underwhelming performance, Beckham will finish the regular season with a career-high 100 catches for 1,367 yards and 10 touchdowns. His personal success has been directly tied to that of Eli Manning for most of the season, and the duo will need to get on the same page if the Giants are to make any noise in the playoffs.

Explodes for 150 yards receiving in Week 16 loss

Beckham secured 11 of 20 targets for 150 yards in Thursday's 24-19 loss to the Eagles.

Analysis: Taking on a defense that had often been victimized by outside receivers this season, Beckham avenged a four-catch, 46-yard outing against this same Eagles squad back on Nov. 6 with his second-highest yardage total of the season. He accounted for almost a third of Eli Manning's whopping 63 pass attempts on the night, and posted only his fourth 100-yard game of the season in the process. Beckham will look to replicate his success in a Week 17 showdown against a Redskins team that he torched for…read more

Beckham caught six of eight targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-6 win over the Lions. He also gained nine yards on one rushing attempt.

Analysis: While his yardage total was rather tame by his standards, Beckham still produced some highlight reel plays Sunday, including a one-handed touchdown catch on a low pass from Eli Manning and a long punt return for a touchdown that was ultimately nullified by a penalty. The dynamic Beckham has 100 receiving yards or a touchdown in six of seven games since the bye week and should continue his stellar play next week against a struggling Eagles secondary.

Beckham caught four of nine targets for 94 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Cowboys.

Analysis: Beckham struggled at times to get on the same page as Eli Manning, but the duo connected on a 61-yard touchdown in the third quarter that ultimately decided the game. The big-play wideout has averaged 89.6 yards with nine touchdowns in his last eight games and is one of the premier fantasy options at his position heading into next week's matchup with the Lions.

Published: Sun, Dec 11 at 11:08pm by Rotowire.comMore news and analysis available atNFL.com

Analysis: The Steelers did a good job on Beckham in the first half, bottling him up for just one reception on a single target. He was able to shake free a bit more in the second half, with the Giants in comeback mode, although he was held out of the end zone for the second time in his last three games. He may find more room to work with next week against an average Cowboys secondary. OBJ's outlook would be more optimistic if cornerback Morris Claiborne (sports hernia) has to sit out for another game.

Not on Wednesday's injury report

Beckham (thumb) didn't land on Wednesday's injury report.

Analysis: In a game in which Beckham hauled in six of 11 passes for 96 yards and two touchdowns, he also took off 12 of the Giants' 56 offensive snaps Sunday in Cleveland. Part of the blame can be placed on a thumb injury, but his services weren't entirely needed in the eventual 27-13 victory. He'll now set his sights this Sunday on a Steelers defense that has given up 14 YPC and three touchdowns to wideouts over the last four outings.

Beckham briefly left Sunday's game against the Browns with a thumb injury, according to the New York Post, but was able to return and finished with six catches (on 11 targets) for 96 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Analysis: Beckham appeared to be in some discomfort as he went to the sidelines for a period of time, but he showed no signs of the issue while hauling in touchdown passes of 32 and four yards that helped his team to a decisive victory. He also returned three punts for 35 yards and had a special teams touchdown called back for an infraction on the play. Beckham did not reach the end zone for the first four weeks of the season, but he has eight touchdowns in his last seven games and should be heavily…read more

Beckham caught five of his seven targets for 46 yards Sunday against the Bears.

Analysis: The Giants simply weren't aggressive down the field Sunday and were content to sit on a six-point lead for the entire fourth quarter. As a result, Beckham didn't see a ton of work, and what he did see was mostly in short areas of the field. He came into the game having scored six touchdowns in his last five and will look to get back into the end zone in a favorable matchup against the Browns next week.

Beckham caught 10 passes (on 11 targets) for 97 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's win over the Bengals.

Analysis: Beckham pulled in all but one of the passes thrown his way Monday, when he once again led the Giants in all receiving categories. In fact, his 10 receptions marked a season high and surprisingly his first double-digit catching performance since Week 17 of his 2014 rookie season. Beckham's night was highlighted by an excellent double move that resulted in a 10-yard touchdown to end the second half, continuing his recent streak of finding pay dirt.

Beckham had four catches for 46 yards and two scores on 10 targets Sunday against the Eagles.

Analysis: It wasn't an efficient performance from Beckham, though Eli Manning missed him on a wide-open deep sideline throw. He draws the Bengals at home next week, another exploitable matchup.

Published: Sun, Nov 6 at 2:13pm by Rotowire.comMore news and analysis available atNFL.com

Analysis: Beckham suffered a hip pointer during a Week 6 win over the Ravens, but he only missed a few snaps and then went off for 211 receiving yards in the second half. While the memorable performance temporarily shut down any concerns, Beckham is apparently still dealing with some residual soreness three weeks later as the Giants come out of their bye. The minor injury shouldn't impact his role against a tough Eagles defense, as he played 54 of his team's 57 offensive snaps in Week 7 versus the Rams.

Limited at practice Wednesday

Beckham (hip) was limited at Wednesday's practice, SNY.tv reports.

Analysis: In a post-practice media session, Beckham told Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com that he's "about 85 percent right now." Coming off the Giants' bye week, rest and rehab seem to have treated him well, but the assessment of his own health implies that his practice reps will be under a cap this week. Assuming he avoids a setback, he should be good to roll Sunday against an Eagles secondary that has given up exactly one touchdown to wideouts in four straight games.

Beckham (hip) appeared to be a limited participant at Monday's practice but was still moving around well, ESPN's Jordan Raanan reports.

Analysis: Beckham, who suffered a minor hip problem during his 222-yard Week 6 performance against the Ravens, is seemingly being eased into the action as the Giants return from their bye week Monday. New York's star wideout has not missed a game this season but still wasn't fully participating in every drill to start the week. While he may land on the injury report in the coming days, Beckham is widely expected to be ready for Sunday's divisional clash versus the Eagles.

According to coach Ben McAdoo, Beckham was "pretty sore" Monday and spent the day getting treatment, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Beckham opted to play through a minor hip injury during Sunday's victory over the Rams and is now dealing with some additional soreness, so he ended up receiving treatment Monday to take care of the pain. It's fully expected that Beckham will continue to play through any minor ailments, although it's still something to monitor over the next few weeks.

Beckham (hip) turned a team-high nine targets into just five catches for 49 yards in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Rams.

Analysis: Beckham played through a minor hip injury and averaged just under 10 yards per catch Sunday as both teams struggled to generate offense, leading to his second-lowest yardage output of the season. His production has largely been tied to the ups and downs of Eli Manning, who was ineffective Sunday after a big Week 6. The Giants will enjoy a bye next week and will hope to sort things out on offense before taking on the Eagles the following Sunday.

Suits up Sunday

Beckham (hip) is officially listed as active for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Analysis: Beckham will give it a go Sunday, though it remains to been seen how much the wideout's hip pointer might impact his play, with ESPN's Adam Schefter noting that it was "not a normal pregame" for the wideout, who, per NJ.com, "spent time with a trainer during pregame warmups and had a discussion with coach Ben McAdoo." Beckham was listed by the Giants as a limited practice participant both Thursday and Friday, after sitting out Wednesday's session.

Cleared for Sunday in London

Beckham (hip) does not have a designation on Friday's final injury report for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Analysis: The Giants initially reported Beckham as probable, which is no longer one of the injury designations. As expected, the final injury report cleared the star wideout entirely rather than listing him as questionable or doubtful. Beckham did miss Wednesday's practice, but he returned as a limited participant both Thursday and Friday. He'll take aim at a vulnerable Rams secondary that's missing top cornerback Trumaine Johnson (ankle).

Beckham (hip) is expected to play Sunday against the Rams.

Analysis: The Giants, playing in London this week, posted on social media early Friday that Beckham is considered "probable" for Week 7.

Limited practice Thursday

Beckham (hip) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.

Analysis: During the portion of practice open to the media, Beckham was nowhere to be found, spurring the belief that he was unable to partake. Once the session closed, though, the wideout apparently made an appearance. Hence, the limited session. While the training staff will likely continue to work on his bruised hip, there doesn't appear to be much question about his status for Sunday's game against the Rams in London.

Beckham (hip) was absent from Thursday's practice, Art Stapleton of The Record reports.

Analysis: The Giants' training staff will continue to work on Beckham's hip pointer in advance of the NFL's second game of the season in London. While some practice reps this week would be ideal for the upcoming contest, head coach Ben McAdoo likely prefers that Beckham avoids an unnecessary setback. Friday's injury report will reveal his chances of taking the field Sunday against the Rams.

Beckham (hip) didn't practice Wednesday.

Analysis: Beckham's week could be dominated by treatment on the hip pointer sustained Sunday against the Ravens. He was able to tough out the injury, though, and take two catches to the house, implying that he likely isn't in danger of sitting out in Week 7. His practice reps Thursday and Friday could glean information on his upcoming availability.

Beckham (hip) wasn't present at the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Seth Walder of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: After sustaining a hip pointer in Sunday's game, Beckham may log more time than usual with the training staff this week, but his ability to play through the pain and rip off a pair of lengthy touchdowns would indicate that his Week 7 availability isn't in peril. Nevertheless, his practice participation over the next few days will be monitored closely.

Published: Wed, Oct 19 at 10:09am by Rotowire.comMore news and analysis available atNFL.com

Analysis: Beckham suffered a hip pointer that resulted in a brief exit from Sunday's game against the Ravens, but that didn't stop him from finishing with a whopping 222 receiving yards and two touchdowns. While Beckham's soreness could subject him to treatment throughout the week, his wildly-productive performance in spite of any discomfort Sunday should leave fantasy owners' expectations of him unchanged ahead of this weekend's game in London versus the Rams.

Beckham tore apart the Ravens on Sunday, corralling eight of 10 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns.

Analysis: In the first half, Beckham fumbled on his first reception, suffered a hip pointer midway through the second quarter that forced a brief spell in the locker room, and entered halftime with two catches (on three targets) for 11 yards.

Beckham (hip) returned to Sunday's contest against the Ravens, Andie Hagemann of NFL.com reports.

Analysis: Beckham sustained a hip pointer at the tail end of a pass breakup in the second quarter but was able to log some snaps just before halftime, including a target on an incomplete pass at the end of the second quarter. He'll look to build upon two receptions for 11 yards and a lost fumble.

Beckham is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens due to a hip pointer.

Beckham caught five passes for 56 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Packers.

Analysis: The Giants came out firing in Beckham's direction, and he was ultimately the only player on the team to draw more than seven targets. However, Eli Manning struggled all night as the Giants ran a mere 54 plays, compared to Green Bay's 77.

Beckham caught just three passes (on nine targets) for 23 yards in Monday night's loss to the Vikings.

Analysis: Beckham's mere 23 receiving yards marked the lowest single-game output of his career thus far. Additionally, his three catches were the fewest he's posted this season, despite seeing nine passes thrown his way. The Giants' lone interception came on a deep pass intended for Beckham, but he and quarterback Eli Manning didn't appear to be on the same page. After such a disappointing showing, Beckham will aim to bounce back against the Packers in Week 5.

Beckham caught seven of 11 targets for a season-high 121 yards in Sunday's 29-27 defeat at the hands of the Redskins.

Analysis: Outside of a nice 45-yard catch down the sideline, Beckham was held in check against the Cowboys, who were very physical with the star wideout.

Head coach Ben McAdoo relayed Thursday that Beckham will play Saturday at Buffalo, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Beckham was unfortunately cleated by cornerback Janoris Jenkins in an early training camp practice, which sidelined him for a spell. In the interim, Beckham has slowly but surely built up his reps and even took the field in the Giants' first exhibition Friday against the Dolphins. Expect him to see a handful of series in Saturday's preseason game.

Beckham (lower leg) took part in every part of Saturday's practice but 1-on-1 drills, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Last Sunday, Beckham became tangled with cornerback Janoris Jenkins, suffering cuts to his lower left leg that capped his practice reps in the interim. In his return to live 11-on-11 work Saturday, though, Beckham showed off the jets at one point when he burned Jenkins for a 70-yard touchdown on a deep post. With the injury all but behind him, Beckham can now set his sights on the Giants' preseason slate, which starts Friday versus the Dolphins.

Still working on side field

Beckham was contained to work on the side for the second day in a row Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN New York reports.

Analysis: In the midst of Sunday's practice, Beckham was tangled up with cornerback Janoris Jenkins and sustained cuts to his lower leg, which have sidelined the standout wide receiver in the meantime. Two realities remain on Beckham's side, though. First, he's already progressing in his quest to return to the field, as confirmed by head coach Ben McAdoo, who said Beckham is "absolutely" improving.

Analysis: Beckham missed just one day of practice after getting cleated during Sunday's session. He may still be a bit sore, but he didn't need any stitches and doesn't have an injury of consequence.

Beckham caught five of seven targets for 54 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

Analysis: The second-year wideout struggled to make an impact in his return from a one-game suspension, totaling his lowest yardage output since Week 7. Beckham still managed to surpass his totals from a year ago despite his late-season issues, with 96 receptions, 1,450 yards and 13 touchdowns on the campaign. Beckham is an elite receiver who has the full attention of Eli Manning most weeks, and big things should be expected once again in 2016.

Odell Beckham: Suspension lifted

Beckham's one-game suspension was officially lifted Monday, Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis: The Giants entered Week 16 alive in the playoff picture, but Washington quickly dashed those hopes by clinching the NFC East on Saturday in Philadelphia. With Beckham out of commission Sunday, his side fell flat in a 49-17 demolition at the hands of the Vikings, but with one game remaining, he can still put a stamp on a spectacular sophomore season.

Odell Beckham: Suspension upheld

Beckham's one-game suspension for his actions during Sunday's loss to the Panthers has been upheld, Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports 1 reports.

Analysis: With Wednesday's appeal and subsequent ruling behind him, Beckham cannot participate in any team activities in advance of Sunday's must-win game at Minnesota. Although Eli Manning won't have one of the league's most electric wideouts at his disposal, he'll turn to a viable receiving corps of Rueben Randle, Dwayne Harris (shoulder), and Will Tye, with running back Shane Vereen sprinkled in for good measure.

Odell Beckham: Draws one-game suspension

Beckham has been suspended by the NFL for one game for his actions in Sunday's loss to the Panthers, ESPN's Adam Scheffer reports.

Analysis: With that in mind, ESPN's Dan Graziano relays that Beckham's appeal (assuming there is one) would likely to be heard within the next 48 hours, but for now, both the Giants and fantasy owners should be prepared to be without the services of the star wideout Sunday against the Vikings.

Odell Beckham: Could be suspended one game

Beckham is likely facing a one-game suspension for his actions in Sunday's loss to the Panthers, ESPN's Adam Scheffer reports.

Analysis: The league is discussing several forms of punishment for the multiple head shots Beckham landed on Carolina's Josh Norman in Sunday's game, and early indications are Beckham will have to sit out a game. Beckham might still only be tagged with a hefty fine, and he will have the right to appeal any suspension, but his status for next week's game against the Vikings is in question until the league announces its decision.

Odell Beckham: Late surge salvages performance versus Panthers

Beckham caught six of nine targets for a team-leading 76 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Panthers.

Analysis: The dynamic wideout was held in check by cornerback Josh Norman for most of the day and clearly showed his frustration on a number of occasions, but he was able to persevere and came through with the game-tying touchdown in the forth quarter shortly after breaking off a 40-yard gain. Beckham continues to produce even in the toughest of matchups, and his outstanding year has shown that his impressive 2014 campaign was no fluke. He will once again serve as an elite fantasy option next week…read more

Analysis: Beckham could have an even bigger game had Eli Manning not underthrown him on a deep ball early in the first half. Beckham draws Carolina's Josh Norman in Week 15, so it's not likely to be as easy as it was Monday night.

Beckham caught six of 11 targets for 149 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Jets, his fifth straight game with more than 100 yards.

Analysis: Beckham continues to be the focal points of the Giants' offense, though most of his yards came on an excellent 72-yard catch-and-run touchdown in the second quarter. He has now scored six touchdowns in the last five games, and he'll look to extend his scoring streak to four games in Week 14 against the Dolphins, who have allowed the third-most passing touchdowns this season.

With Darrelle Revis not looking likely to play, Beckham could find himself matched up with Antonio Cromartie, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Analysis: "AlCROtraz" has been a minimum-security facility this year, with Pro Football Focus ranking him 99th out of 114 cornerbacks. Of course, the Jets will give Cromartie help, but it's a highly favorable matchup for one of the league's most talented and highly targeted receivers.

Beckham snatched nine passes off of 18 targets for 142 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to Washington.

Analysis: Beckham came up with yet another highlight-reel touchdown grab to bring the Giants within a score midway through the fourth quarter. Sunday's game marked a season high in targets and tied a season high in catches for Beckham, who has now accounted for 28 percent of the Giants' targets and 26 percent of the team's catches this season. Unlike in games past, Beckham's usage no longer needs to be tempered by the potential return of Victor Cruz, who has since been shut down for the season. Expect…read more

Beckham caught 4-of-12 targets for 104 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-26 loss to New England.

Analysis: Beckham was held in check after scoring his 87-yard touchdown on the second offensive play for the Giants, as CB Malcolm Butler did a pretty good job on the star wideout. It looked like Beckham caught the game-winning touchdown in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter, but Butler slapped the ball away from him at the last moment. The Giants had to settle for a field goal after a few more shots at a touchdown, and Tom Brady ultimately led the Patriots to the game-winning field goal with…read more

Beckham snagged nine passes off of 17 targets for 105 yards in Sunday's win over Tampa Bay. He fumbled the ball out of bounds in the fourth quarter

Analysis: The 17 targets were the second most Beckham has seen in his brief career. The young superstar is on pace to top all of his impressive rookie marks this season and his seven touchdowns are good for second in the league. During the game Beckham made a bit of NFL history, becoming the fastest player to reach 150 career receptions.

Beckham (hamstring) hauled in 8-of-9 passes for 130 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 52-49 loss to the Saints.

Analysis: Eli Manning and the Giants passing offense came alive in this one, and Beckham was unsurprisingly the beneficiary. The second-year receiver out of LSU is as talented as they come, and this performance could very well be the start of another hot streak after he registered just 35 yards last week. Beckham is liable to go off at any time as long as his hamstring isn't bothering him too much.

Beckham (hamstring) is active Sunday against the Saints.

Analysis: Beckham's hamstring has been an issue for most of the season, but he was able to practice fully all week and will face off against a Saints defense allowing 7.9 YPA this season, the third-worst mark in the NFL.
